Abstract :
A standoff bio-aerosol-sensor is in prototype development and test for short range building-interior applications. It measures elastic backscatter at ultraviolet and near-infrared laser wavelengths to detect respirable aerosol clouds and measures ultraviolet fluorescence for aerosol discrimination.
